Describing Fireworks

This term we have been learning to:

• use interesting words
• use describing words
• use our senses (what we see, hear, feel etc)
• use a language feature like:  onomatopoeia, simile

Reflection:
It was a bit tricky for me to spell the words but I didn't gave up.  It helped me to find the words I wanted on the word bank.  Next time I could use more describing words.

Reading with Fluency and Expression

I have been learning to read with fluency and expression:

• scan along with my eyes (not just reading word by word
• think of the first sound and get ready to say it
• Look for the punctuation - the beginning and end of sentences

Reflection:  I've got better at reading aloud.  I really keep looking at the words.  I felt proud when I heard it.  Its better than the other one.  Ali  22.11.17

Money Madness

We have been learning to:

• recognise and identify NZ coins and notes and their values
• make amounts by totalling coins and notes using tens and ones
• make amounts in different ways

Reflection:  It was a bit tricky, I had to think hard about which notes and coins to use.
It was easier to have the total on so that I could see how much more I needed.
